  • Episode 50: "Actually, Death Is A Good Omen!"
    Gooooooood monday gang! Woke up feeling chipper and also realized episode 50 was just waiting to be released, so here you go. And what better way to celebrate than with longtime friend of the show @i_make_music? Come along on a magical journey as we discuss Vincente Fox, how club football is simpler than it seems, and as a special bonus, the mayor gets his Tarot read.
    Huge thanks to @i_make_music, and a huge thanks to anyone who stuck it through the first fifty episodes.

  • Episode 47: "Sue Thomas: Carceral State Diplomat"
    Goooooooooooood afternoon gang! Mayor's back after some downtime, and the entirety of the Internet lost its goddamn mind. No matter, where we're going we don't need minds.

  • Episode 45: VanderSam Part One: "She's a Samantha, I'm A Carrie"
    Goooooooooooooooood morning gang! Coming at you with a VERY special jam where I sit down with contrarian, iconoclast and overall fascinating person Samantha Pritchard (@thucydiplease) for an extended discussion that may not be able to pass a field sobriety test. Come along on a magical journey as we talk about making enemies, working for Obama, martini hacks, and the eternal question: just who the hell IS Samantha Pritchard?
    Also our pivot-to-close ended up running another hour, so stay tuned for Part 2!
    Eternal thanks to @thucydiplease, realest of possible ones

  • Episode 44: "Randerjam, or: I've Got A Friend in Ye"
    Hey constituents! What ever happened to making a career as a songwriter? Where are we, the moon? Turn down that garbage music and turn up the volume as friend of the show Austin (@austinrocksface) joins the mayor in studio for a deep dive in the bizarre honky tonk world of Randy Newman. Come along on a magical journey as we talk the California sound, the correct dog-to-night ratio, and the lighter side of Korean parentage. We released this episode early because Sheldon Adelson died.
    Major thanks to @austinrocksface

  • Episode 43: "Harry Potter and The Series of Escalating Incidents"
    Gooooooooooood morning gang, God took Sunday off so the mayor had to step up and hustle, and hustle he did! First off the hustle list was snagging an interview with friend of the show @alaskastardust! Come along on a magical journey as we talk class reductionism, starting trouble versus finishing it, and why it's so very important to travel, at least outside of the house.
    Enormous thanks to @alaskastardust
